Thorogood 1957 Series 8 Waterproof Steel Toe Work Boots for Men

Thorogood's premium full-grain leather boots in the brand's iconic moc toe work boot design are both comfortable and durable enough to withstand demanding jobs. Crafted in the USA using domestic and globally sourced components, these 8-inch Briar Pitstop brown boots (model 804-3800) feature Thorogood's exclusive MAXWEAR WEDGE™ TRACTION OUTSOLE.

This specialized outsole flexes more readily than typical work boot soles, absorbing impacts and protecting the feet and ankles while working on challenging surfaces. The outsole meets ASTM F3445-21 Slip Test Standards, keeping you steady on loose gravel, wet, and oily terrain. The waterproof, gusseted tongue and moisture-wicking lining work in tandem to keep feet dry and comfortable.

These steel toe boots for men meet ASTM F2413-18 safety standards, shielding the toes from on-site impact and compression hazards. Yet the design maintains a light, flexible feel, making them some of the best safety toe options for workers in hazardous environments. They are also electrical hazard rated, able to withstand 18,000 volts (RMS value) at 60 Hz for 1 minute with no current flow above 1.0 mA in dry conditions.

Thorogood's heritage dates back to 1892, when Albert H. Weinbrenner opened a cobblery in Milwaukee. The company has since evolved, becoming a major supplier of boots to the US military during both World Wars and introducing innovative concepts like the "job-fitted" design. Thorogood also created the iconic Hike n' Camp boot, which became their best-selling model.

Today, Thorogood continues to prioritize craftsmanship, innovation, and comfort, tailoring their footwear to the needs of specialized tradespeople. These 1957 Series boots exemplify that commitment, blending classic American style with modern performance features. Sturdy Goodyear Storm Welt construction ensures long-lasting wear and easy resoling, while the removable Ultimate Shock Absorption footbed adds cushioning comfort.

Thorogood's Made in the USA promise means these boots are either Berry Compliant (100% US-made) or crafted domestically with globally sourced materials. As the company celebrates 130 years in business, they continue expanding their offerings, recently debuting their first western-style product, the Square Toe Wellington.
